They just don't work for what is, really, a rather common work environment constraint: no local config files for a specific developer may pollute the central code repositories.

Although a .tm_property file is meant to go to the root of the project, you can still do project specific settings in ~/.tm_properties.

For example the default properties (inside TextMate.app) has the following:

    [ "/usr/include/**" ]
    tabSize  = 8

    [ "/System/Library/Frameworks/**/Headers/**" ]
    encoding = "MACROMAN"

Also see http://lists.macromates.com/textmate/2012-September/035480.html where I mention how you can set projectDirectory once and have it apply to multiple directories.

Mostly it just means the feedback will be ignored (from those who can actually help improve the situation).
